A mixture theory-based finite element formulation for the study of biodegradation of poroelastic scaffolds
Priyanka Patki, Francesco Costanzo
We derive a mixture theory-based mathematical model of the degradation of a poroelastic solid immersed in a fluid bath. The evolution of the solid's mechanical and transport proper…

Acoustic Streaming: An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian Perspective
Nitesh Nama, Tony Jun Huang, Francesco Costanzo
We analyze acoustic streaming flows using an ALE perspective. The formulation stems from an explicit separation of time-scales resulting in two subproblems: a first-order problem,…

The Invalidity of the Laplace Law for Biological Vessels and of Estimating Elastic Modulus from Total Stress vs. Strain: a New Practical Method
Francesco Costanzo, James G. Brasseur
The quantification of the stiffness of tubular biological structures is often obtained, both in vivo and in vitro, as the slope of total transmural hoop stress plotted against hoop…
